ARCHBISHOP MAKARIOS AND THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE

SIR,—Pharos in 'A Spectator's Notebook' appears to think that Makarios the ecclesiastic can be dis- sociated from Makarios the politician. This is a dualism which cannot be sustained on Christian principles. Makarios is still the Archbishop when he supports, if he does not direct, the terrorist ac- tivities of the party of which he is the acknowledged leader. It is impossible for Makarios the Archbishop to visit the Lambeth Conference and leave Makarios the political leader behind in Athens.—Yours faith- fully, E. BENSON PERKINS Secretary of the World Methodist Council 38 Belle Walk, Moseley, Birmingham, 13
